Qaylan Furlong (β) was a Starfleetcadet who was born in 2358. His father, Ralph Furlong, was killed at the Battle of Wolf 359. Ten years later, with another conflict against the Borg looming, Q offered Qaylan a chance to go back in time and inhabit the body of a Bijani tactical officer and attempt to save his father.

DoctorThaddeus Quint (β) was the chief medical officer on board the Righteous. Q found he liked Quint's sarcastic personality, and assumed his role in history, with only the player being able to see that it was actually Q. In his role as Quint, Q saved Sprint allowing history to be changed by the player/Sprint and provides advice, including giving Sprint a medkit that allows him to resist assimilation by putting himself in a Bijani Pain Trance. Q as Quint shows a sense of doom in regards to the upcoming Battle of Wolf 359, which apparently matches Quint's own personality. After time is reset, Q reveals himself and restores Quint who neither knows, nor wishes to know, what has happened.

Lieutenant Coris Sprint (β) was a Bijani Starfleet officer who served as the security chief on board the Righteous. When Q gave Qaylan the opportunity to save the ship and crew, he had the cadet assume his identity. Once the Righteous was spared from its destruction at Wolf 359, Q did not bring back Sprint, stating that he was destined to die. Sprint was friends with Targus and Furlong in their days at the academy.

EnsignAnastasia Targus (β) was the tactical officer on board the Righteous. She required a neural implant to recover from the effects of a previous disease. This implant was apparently Borg-compatible.

Second of Four was a Borg drone who served on the Borg cube that participated at Wolf 359. Prior to the battle he had stowed away on board the Righteous, and who had masked his presence from the ship's sensors. Qaylan/Sprint and Ralph Furlong discovered the Borg and eventually killed him in one of the ship's access tunnels.
